Our group of 6 players (+1 DM) have been working our way through this adventure since December and have been having a great time.

Having accepted Kaurophon's offer they have followed him to Occipitus, completed the 1st 2 parts of the test and now stand ready to conquer the 3rd. I'm very interested to see how this plays out.

During the 2nd part, in the encounter with the Basilisk, Kaurauphon was turned to stone. They talked about changing him back, but with limited resources they didn't do it and thought they would come back later. They haven't.
